...and there you have it.

Here we go. Why do the hyd cam combos get an "up grade" and not the solid cam combinations?? IF ( I am not advocating for this) everyone had been up graded to rollers would that not have leveled the playing field? Am I missing something here? Are not the lifter concerns "wiping out a motor" shared with solid and hyd cams?
